Reviewer score 87% (normalized by Neofiliac)The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X just had to put down its stamp with a new record, 727fps, at our test settings. It's a monster for gaming in 1080p, runs at a lower TDP than the competition and is backward-compatible with older motherboards. The $120 AMD Ryzen 3 3300X frees up a hefty chunk of cash that could get shifted to a better graphics card or another stick of RAM.
Pros
- Strong performance in 1080p and 1440p gaming
- Strong overclocking performance
- Competitive price
Cons
- Higher boost-clock ceilings

Reviewer score 73% (normalized by Neofiliac)The 6-core 12-thread $299 Ryzen 5 5600X's base clocks come in at 100 MHz less than the previous-gen 3600XT. AMD increased the boost clock speeds, but it also reduced base frequencies. We recorded many cases of a 4.55 GHz all-core boost with the Zen 3 chip.
Pros
- Great performance for gaming and content creation workloads
- Competitively priced
- Supports PCIe 4.0
Cons
- No bundled cooler
- Limited overclocking headroom
